Yun Yang shook his head lightly and chuckled. "It's not really a question. I'm just curious about Your Majesty Phoenix Emperor's grand scheme and the details of your arrangements for ten thousand years. "
The Phoenix Emperor chuckled. "Curious?"
Yun Yang said faintly, "I'm just curious. I've already learned about the start and current situation of Your Majesty Phoenix Emperor, and I know Your Majesty Phoenix Emperor's ultimate goal as well. It's only to ascend to the starry sky and transcend this world, and even metamorphose into the pure-blooded phoenix that you yearn for the most. However, I know very little about the details. Now that you're free, why don't Your Majesty tell me … If we miss this day, we may never meet again. I'm afraid that no one in this world would want to hear or dare to hear about the past! Besides, I believe that with so many friends and relatives passing away on the same day, Your Majesty Phoenix Emperor will inevitably be lonely in the future. "
He smiled meaningfully and said, "Wouldn't it be a great tragedy if no one could share such a magnificent feat?"
Yun Yang's words were like knives stabbing straight into the Phoenix Emperor's heart.
However, they had also touched the deepest itch in his heart.
The grand scheme that had been planned for forty thousand years, advancing step by step and enduring all the time!
Who would know of the painstaking effort and attainments within?
Who would know of the layers of scheming within?
He had finally succeeded. Forty thousand years of countless schemes, but there was no one to share them with, so he could only keep it to himself.
To a wise man, it was a form of torture.
Such painstaking effort and attainments had drawn the world's condemnation. He had become a classic villain in everyone's hearts. Was the Phoenix Emperor indignant?
Was there an inside story to this matter?
Yun Yang was infinitely sure that there must be too many things in the Phoenix Emperor's heart right now.
He had succeeded, but the Phoenix Emperor was not happy.
Just like what Yun Yang had said, the Phoenix Emperor would indeed have no one to share it with if not for today and Yun Yang. Anyone who heard of this past would be privy to the Phoenix Emperor's scandal and would definitely be killed!
Sure enough, no one wanted to listen, and no one dared to listen!
The Phoenix Emperor felt a surge of silence in his heart, but his expression remained indifferent as he said, "The world will belong to the demons, and the land will be my subjects. Even if my past is somewhat despicable, it's nothing. Haven't you heard that history is written by the victors? Since Lord Supreme Cloud has the intention, why don't I announce these past events to the world?"
"The winner is king and the loser is the bandit! This has been the case since ancient times. However, this matter isn't as simple as it seems! "
"Now, in the eyes of all living beings in the world, I, the Phoenix Emperor, am a despicable and vile person who plotted against my brother for several tens of thousands of years … Hehe …"
The Phoenix Emperor chuckled and said, "Since I've obtained the benefits, I don't care about my reputation. I might as well reveal everything to the world!"
"Merits and demerits, right and wrong, should be clearly recorded, allowing future generations to judge. Why would I, the Phoenix Monarch, fear them? "
"Besides, even if I put aside the fact that I've become the victor and the one who benefits from this, I still don't think that what I've done is wrong, nor is it a sin. It's just a small ripple on the path of the strong. It's nothing more than that."
He spoke calmly and magnanimously.
However, Yun Yang, Dongfang Haoran, and the others could hear the indignation in the Phoenix Emperor's heart.
The Phoenix Emperor sneered and said, "When I was young, just when I started to take human form, my father, who was also the previous emperor of the Phoenix Clan, was at the end of his lifespan. His lifespan was reaching its end, and all the injuries on his body erupted."
"Before he died, he held my hand and said … there was one thing in his life that he couldn't achieve despite putting in all his effort. He had let down his ancestors, his descendants, and his greatest regret was that he couldn't see the pinnacle of this world's martial arts and ascend to the pinnacle of this world …"
"If I have the chance in the future, I won't let it go."
"Becoming a true phoenix and returning to the true phoenix clan is what my father couldn't do! This pinnacle of martial arts, the path of the galaxy, was my father's greatest regret, but he told me that there's a shortcut to the pinnacle of martial arts. "
"At that time, I asked my father, 'What shortcut?' The path of martial arts has always been one step at a time. The so-called shortcut is always a wrong path. How could there really be a shortcut to follow? "
"My father told me … this shortcut exists in the Strategy of World Annihilation. When the Strategy of World Annihilation is carried out, it has the power to destroy heaven and earth, far surpassing the pinnacle of this world. Even killing a pinnacle expert like the Demon Emperor is as easy as snapping a finger. However, this power isn't something that can be easily controlled, and it's even more difficult to make it your own … Only the controller of the Strategy of World Annihilation can extract a portion of the power and make it his own … This power is extremely pure, and it won't conflict with the controller's own power. As long as the controller can bear it and digest it, he can naturally ascend to the pinnacle of the galaxy! "
"However, the controller needs to have a certain level of cultivation if he wants to extract the power, and the lower limit of this cultivation is … the power of a pinnacle Sage, which is publicly acknowledged to be the pinnacle of this world's cultivation."
"According to the ancient records of the Phoenix Clan, a senior of our clan spent his entire life's experience and combined the innate characteristics of the phoenix bloodline's Nirvana Rebirth to research and create the Great Art of World Annihilation … It was for the future generations of the Phoenix Clan to have a chance to embark on a longer path of cultivation and fulfill the long-cherished wish of returning to the clan!"
"This shortcut was created by the Phoenix Clan with great effort, but … no one has ever used it before. This is a shortcut, but it is also an unknown path. It is filled with danger! If we don't succeed, we will die! "
"Father, the Emperor, told me to be careful."
"Since there is such a shortcut, how can I let go of it? Moreover, this involves the long-cherished wish of the Phoenix Clan for thousands of generations! "
The Phoenix Sovereign's face was cold and stiff as she said indifferently, "From then on, I began to plan. The first step of the World Extermination Stratagem, the most important step, is to choose a Demon Sovereign. After all, the World Extermination Stratagem must have a Demon Sovereign participating in it!"
"However, the Demon King would definitely be devoured by the World Annihilation Stratagem. This is also the most contradictory part of the World Annihilation Stratagem."
"It is absolutely impossible to protect the Demon King while starting the World Annihilation Stratagem. Moreover, I had to be the controller and the decision-maker to extract the boundless power. Therefore, it was an unsolvable problem at that time. "
"I can't be the Demon King, but I have to be the controller and the decision-maker. This is something I can't do. "
"At that time, I was gifted and talented. Many seniors of the Demon Race had long acknowledged that I was the most suitable person to be the next Demon King. However, I gave up the position of Demon King that I had already obtained because of this reason! "
"As a result, the elders made us juniors compete to determine the position of the Demon Emperor. The elders did this because they wanted to use the strength of the juniors to push me to the top. After all, I was second to none among the juniors of the Demon Race. There was no one who didn't respect me, no one who didn't admire me. It was what everyone expected. "
The Phoenix Emperor's voice was indifferent, but there was a sense of pride in it.
Yun Yang nodded quietly.
So that was it.
"It was probably then that I suddenly had an idea on how to take this path to heaven."
"I didn't need to be the Demon King. The fundamental problem of executing the World Annihilation Stratagem was already there. However, as long as I supported a puppet of the Demon King, the real decision-maker would actually be me, and all the problems would be easily solved!"
"Of course, all of this is built on the foundation that the puppet I've chosen listens to my every word. This is very difficult to achieve, or perhaps it'll take a long time, but I'm confident that I can do it."
Yun Yang sighed.
So that was it.
"The candidates for the Demon King back then were the fox, Peng, and me. However, the fox was resourceful. Even though I was confident that I was the smartest in the world, it was absolutely impossible to control the Nine-tailed White. Although Peng looked like a straightforward person, he was actually a meticulous and meticulous person. He was also a great leader of a generation. I didn't have absolute confidence that he would listen to me. "
"Since I wanted to be the controller behind the scenes, the puppet in front of me must not be a great leader! Otherwise, all of my painstaking efforts will go to waste. In fact, it's very possible that all of my efforts will end up benefiting someone else in the end. "
"However, it was a heaven-sent opportunity. There was a natural idiot among the younger generation of the Demon Race. He was the oldest among us, and his cultivation base was also the highest, but he couldn't convince the others. It was Long Yutian! "
"I realized then that Long Yutian was a gift from the heavens to me! To realize my plan, Long Yutian was a gift from the heavens! He was someone sent to assist me! "
The Phoenix Sovereign spoke faintly, his voice echoing in all directions.
There was no taboo at all.
Countless Demon Race, Sea Race, and Human Race held their breaths, listening attentively to this forty-thousand-year event!
Perhaps, they were listening to the Phoenix Sovereign using his own way to vent his frustrations, or perhaps, to clear his name.
A wise man's plan, a wise man's listening. If there had been no Supreme Cloud, the Phoenix Sovereign would have destroyed all these secrets, even altering history to a point where it was unrecognizable.
However, there was a well-matched opponent who could understand all his intentions, and yet the Phoenix Sovereign was still willing to speak.
This was the greatest joy of meeting one's match!
"So, I chose Long Yutian and helped him ascend to the throne of the Demon Race, the Demon Emperor …"
The Phoenix Sovereign said coldly, "Long Yutian is hot-tempered, stubborn, and conceited. None of our brothers trusted him at all. If it wasn't for me, it would have been a great stroke of luck for him to be able to ascend to the position of Dragon Emperor in his entire life. With his combat power, cultivation base, and personality, he would definitely be feared by the next Demon Emperor. If he hadn't died prematurely, he would only have become a fighter for the Demon Race, the kind that was all brawn and no brains. With my support, he ruled the Demon Realm and controlled the Demon Race for tens of thousands of years. His words were law, and he could summon the wind and rain. All of this was because of me. I was such a great benefactor to Long Yutian. So what if I had ulterior motives? "
The Phoenix Sovereign seemed to be defending himself with all his might. "He had obtained great benefits, and he possessed the greatest power in this world. In these tens of thousands of years, he did whatever he wanted without restraint, and he got whatever he wanted … All of this was not his! It was only because of me that it became his! "
"It could even be said that everything that he had should have been mine! I gave him everything that I should have, and I gave it to him. He enjoyed the respect for tens of thousands of years, and sacrificed himself for my great plan. What's wrong with that? "
"I allowed him to be high and mighty his entire life, and it was only at the final moment that I sacrificed myself. So what? Am I in the wrong?! "
The more the Phoenix Emperor spoke, the more confident and forceful she became.
"I removed all obstacles for him, and allowed him to ascend the throne smoothly! Then, I helped him conquer the world, and gathered all the Demon Race … "
"All of his achievements in life, all of his status, all of his wealth and prestige, everything, everything, everything, was given to him by me!"
The Phoenix Sovereign's tone was a little agitated, but he controlled his expression and said, "And I did all of this for my own goal. Is that shameless? Is it very despicable? "
"A piece of trash that was originally useless, or had died prematurely, enjoyed glory for tens of thousands of years, and finally sacrificed himself for a great goal. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"He was originally a puppet of mine! He was originally a tool for me to sacrifice! My biggest mistake wasn't in using him or deceiving him, but in … these tens of thousands of years of being together, no matter what, it gave birth to some feelings that shouldn't have appeared. But right now, my biggest concern and trouble are these friendships! "
The Phoenix Sovereign lifted his head and looked at Yun Yang. "Supreme Cloud, do you think that there's anything wrong with this? Or do you think that Long Yutian is worthy of sympathy? Or is it that I'm really wrong? "
"Whether it's worth it or not, it's only between you and the Demon Emperor. We're only outsiders, we have no right to judge. "
The Phoenix Sovereign laughed and said, "The entire battlefield, the billions of Demon Race, Sea Race, and Human Race, are listening. I, the Phoenix Sovereign, have done this. Now, I've announced everything to the world. Is this worth it? "
There was no doubt.
There was no sound of agreement.
Who was right and who was wrong was not something that could be decided in a single sentence!
After a round of discussion, the Phoenix Sovereign howled into the sky, "Long Yutian! What are you wronged for? As the Demon Emperor, as the common lord of the Demon Clan, and as the righteousness of the Demon Clan, you, as the Demon Emperor, should have sacrificed yourself in this matter. Otherwise, how could there be the grand occasion of the Demon Clan entering the Bound of Universe? From the perspective of personal gain and loss, you've lived a life of glory and glory. You've only had this one sacrifice for forty thousand years. What are you unwilling to do? What do you have to be unwilling to do? "
"If it weren't for my support, how could your life have been smooth sailing? Don't tell me that you're really not willing to suffer even a little loss in your life? "
"Your biggest mistake and tragedy is to treat me as a brother! And my biggest mistake and tragedy was to treat you as a brother! "
"That's all! That's all! That's all! "
The Phoenix Sovereign's last three 'that's all' were louder and louder as if he was venting his anger.
The Phoenix Sovereign stood above the clouds, flames burning all over his body as if he was going to burn through the void and transcend this world.
On the top of the mountain where the humans gathered, Dong Qitian, Shi Wuchen, and the others stood solemnly. Behind them were Yun Xiuxin's disciples.
The Phoenix Sovereign's voice shook the world, and everyone heard it clearly.
